Just had to say RIP.. to a real gentleman I had the pleasure of working with in Montreal at CJAD in the mid 50’s, just one of men I worked with over the years in my home town. Brian Brenn who was also a friend at CJAD, and we three kept in touch well after I moved to Vancouver in 1969. Tom will be missed by all who him.
